First lady Michelle Obama doesn't usually speak on national security issues, but she did briefly on Tuesday to mark the anniversary of the killing of Osama bin Laden.

“We finally brought to justice the man behind the 9/11 attacks and so many acts of violence,” she said at a morning fundraiser just off the Las Vegas strip, according to a pool report.

The first lady also talked about bin Laden's killing at a fundraiser last week in Florida, “Let’s not forget that all this administration has done to keep our country safe and restore our standing in the world,”

“...restore our standing in the world.”

As they do their damned best to take us to third-world standing.

God, please spare us the rantings of these despicable people.

So. Now even this S.A.W (easy to figure out) is taking credit with her we campaign comment. These two have humilitated this country, the office and the house in which they get to stays. Let's make that residency a short one come November.

========================= Maybe arugula and a bacon wrapped cheeseburger and all the fries she can choke down.

Then champagne, caviar, Kobe (I think its called Kobe) beef.

Dessert and port to be announced later.

No. Just the usual - a rack of barbecued Golden Retriever ribs.

Weren't a couple of Muslimbrother bros at the White House recently. They were, I'm sure, to get somethin’ from Obama’s stash. He is such a dupe.

They asked he probably gave them millions or billions.

He is a dupe. He gives to Pakistan even though they (probably) were protecting bin Laden. We give them tons of cash and they take it and probably just laugh and laugh and laugh.

He is making a surprise visit to Pakistan - no doubt with butt loads of "Obama's (ours!) stash".

She’s doing her part. She donated her favorite Boob Belt to the Wounded Warriors fund.

Got this in an e-mail — anyone else read this?

WHY MICHELLE CAME HOME-— Interesting!
Sheppard Smith, Fox News.

“If you check President Obama’s last trip over-seas, his wife left just after their visit to France. She has yet to accompany him to any Arab country.

Think about it. Why is Michelle returning to the states when ‘official’ trips to foreign countries generally include the First Lady.” Here’s one thought on the matter.

While in a Blockbuster renting videos I came across a video called “Obama”. There were two men standing next to me and we talked about President Obama. These guys were Arabs, so I asked them why they thought Michelle Obama headed home following the President’s recent visit to France instead of traveling on to Saudi Arabia and Turkey with her husband. They told me she could not go to Saudi Arabia, Turkey or Iraq.
I said “Why not, (?) Laura Bush went to Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Dubai.”

They said that Obama is a Muslim and therefore he is not allowed to bring his wife into countries that adhere to Sharia Law.

Two points of interest here:
1) I thought it interesting that two American Arabs at Blockbuster believe that our President is a Muslim, who follows a strict Islamic creed.
2) They also said that’s the reason he bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia. It was a signal to the Muslim world, acknowledging his religion.

For further consideration, here is a response from Dr. Jim Murk, a Middle Eastern Scholar and expert on Islam. This is his explanation of what the Arab American’s were saying.
“An orthodox Muslim man would never take his wife on a politically oriented trip to any nation which practices Sharia law, particularly Saudi Arabia where the Wahhabi sect is dominant. This is true and it is why Obama left Michelle in Europe. She will stay home when he visits Arab countries. He knows Muslim protocol; this includes, bowing to the Saudi King. Obama is regarded as a Muslim in the Arab world, because he was born to a Muslim father; he acknowledged his Muslim faith with George Stephanopoulos. Note that he downplays his involvement with Christianity, by not publicly joining a Christian church in D.C. And occasionally attending the chapel for services at Camp David. He also played down the fact that America is a Christian country and said, unbelievably, that it was one of the largest Muslim nations in the world, which is nonsense. He has publicly taken the side of the Palestinians in the conflict with Israel and he ignored the National Day of Prayer, something no other President has ever done. He is bad news! He conceals his true faith to the detriment of the American people.”
-— Jim Murk, Doctor of Philosophy in Middle Eastern Culture & Religion.

ACTIONS speak louder than words. Another interesting item regarding Sharia Law; why has Barack Hussein Obama insisted that the U.S. Attorney General hold the trials of the 911 Muslim Terrorists in Civilian Courts as Common Criminals instead of as Terrorists who attacked the United States of America? If the Muslim Terrorists are tried in Military Tribunals, convicted and sentenced to death, by LAW, Barack Hussein Obama, as President of the United States, would be required to sign their death warrants. He would not be required to sign the death warrants if they are sentenced to death by a Civilian Court. Recently, Muslim Jihadist, Army Major Hassan slaughtered non-Muslim, soldiers at Ft. Hood, Texas rather than go to Afghanistan and be a part of anything that could lead to the deaths of fellow Muslims. He stated that Muslims ‘could not and should not kill fellow Muslims.’ Is the motive for Barack Hussein Obama’s insistence on civilian trials, to make sure he doesn’t have to sign the death warrants for the Muslim Terrorists? Why would he, as President of the United States, not sign the death warrants for Muslim Terrorists who attacked the United States and murdered over 3,000 U. S. Citizens on 9/11? Could it be that he is FORBIDDEN by his RELIGION to authorize the execution of Muslims?

Think about that! Open your eyes, ears and mind to who the President is, how he behaves and what he is doing! Actions speak louder than teleprompter-written words.
